Three things I have:
* A sofa with high arms.
* A lovely but naughty Monster cat who likes to sit on the arms and back of the sofa.
* Rather long hair.
Some of you will have guessed what happens next.
Mon often reaches out to bunt the back of my head and demand chin scratching. Sometimes she just leans her head against the back of mine and purrs at me, or leans out and clambers onto me for a cuddle. Tonight she was sitting behind me having a good old groom. Then I went to stand up. My hair was caught, I assumed she was sitting on some of it. Oh no.
She had swallowed 18 inches of a lock.
Cat digestive juices ... ew! Thank goodness it's hair washing night!

Date: 2010-07-29 02:38 pm (UTC)As to the eccentric eatings, did you check your recent files to see if it was accidentally saved as something else? I had a computer that used to do that now and then!
Leave Merlin for a week or two! It will write itself! or we can do it together over IM ;-)

Date: 2010-07-29 04:46 pm (UTC)Last night we spotting her casing the joint in preparation for stealing some fish skins. We cleared them all away, only to find later that she had stolen and eaten a cake finger. What kind of cat likes Madeleines? A fat, devious one. *sigh*

Date: 2010-07-29 05:15 pm (UTC)I think she may have started off thinking it was one of her hairs and may as well be licked up, and then just kept going ... A tiny part of me half wishes I hadn't noticed for a little while longer so I could have seen if she would go all the way up to my head ... but that's so wrong ...

Date: 2010-07-29 05:19 pm (UTC)The other night my Zombie decided to jump on my chest and START LICKING MY MOUTH and I was lying there whimpering thinking, "All right, I love her and don't want her to feel rejected but uuuueeeeerrrrghhhgh!!" So when she finished I ran to the restroom and cleaned up. In seven years she's never done this.

Especially Skipper, he'll eat anything from cat toys and rubber bands, to wires (for the tv or stereo), feathers from the teaser toys you get for cats. Basically anything they can find to chew through they will do it.

PS: I have experience with cats ingesting human hair and the trouble it can cause coming out the other end ... but I don't think anyone wants to go there :)
